David SamsonHOST
The Indiana Fever have a serious problem, and it's not a Caitlin Clark problem, actually.
David SamsonHOST
It's more like a Kelsey Mitchell and Amber Cox problem, two people you may never have heard of, but you should.
David SamsonHOST
Amber Cox is the GM of the Indiana Fever, and Kelsey Mitchell is one of their best players.
David SamsonHOST
Like, right under Caitlin Clark.
David SamsonHOST
And the reason why I'm bringing this up on this show today, on an otherwise very crowded Monday, is that, or Tuesday, or I can't remember, whatever day this is, is that I want you to know that when you have something to say as a GM that is against what your player says, you do not talk about this publicly, number one.
David SamsonHOST
Well, if I'm running that team, I'm gonna wanna speak to Kelsey and I'm gonna wanna point out, "I understand you think that, but we really don't want to talk about fans who come to our games.
David SamsonHOST
We'd rather not talk about them that way.
David SamsonHOST
By the way, Kelsey, I'm about to give an interview and I'm gonna have to say something the opposite of what you did." If Amber Cox did not prepare Kelsey Mitchell with what was being said, that is a problem with the Fever, 'cause listen to what the GM of Kelsey Mitchell's team said during her end of season interview.
Sarah SpainHOST
After losing to the Las Vegas Aces in round one, the Indiana Fever held their exit interviews on Saturday, with the back-to-back sessions providing some sort of conflicting takes.
Sarah SpainHOST
Indiana Fever GM and friend of the show, Amber Cox, was the first to take the podium, and at the end of the Q&A session, she read from a prepared statement.
Sarah SpainHOST
Take a listen

listenThe attacks on our fan base have no basis in reality, and they need to stop, especially with members of the media.
Shay CornettHOST
Following Indiana's postseason elimination, the Fevers fan base has come under scrutiny for their treatment of players online and in person, specifically the incident involving Aces star Asia Wilson in Game 2 of their first-round series.
Shay CornettHOST
Fever GM Amber Cox defended the Indiana fans, saying, "...the attacks on our fan base have no basis in reality and they need to stop, especially with the members of the media." Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell, who is an unrestricted free agent, had more to say on the Indiana fan base.
Shay CornettHOST
Listen to this.
Kelsey MitchellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If I showed y'all my DMs about the hate.
Kelsey MitchellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think this organization is unbelievable, man.
Kelsey MitchellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But I think that when it comes to, like, really trying to be yourself, it hasn't always been easy.
Shay CornettHOST
All right, Stephen A., what is your reaction to Kelsey Mitchell's comments, which I thought were very well said, and also the GM there, Amber Cox?
Stephen A. SmithHOST
Well, I'm ticked off at the GM.
Bomani JonesHOST
[laughs] My God.
Bomani JonesHOST
Her name is Amber Cox, right?
Ryan BrumleyHOST
Yes.
Bomani JonesHOST
Okay.
Ryan BrumleyHOST
[laughs]
Bomani JonesHOST
I'm inclined to believe the people, not Amber Cox.
Ryan BrumleyHOST
Yes.
Bomani JonesHOST
There are two reasons why, okay? [laughs] Shit.
Cari ChampionHOST
Yeah.
Jemele HillHOST
However, that being said, I noticed how she parsed her words, Amber Cox, that is.
Cari ChampionHOST
What do you mean?
Jemele HillHOST
The Indiana Fever General Manager, which is who people heard at the beginning of this, is she kept it strictly to incidents that have happened in the arena, incidents and where they've had to, where they've had to remove a fan for bad behavior.
Cari ChampionHOST
I wonder if some of these text messages or some of these DMs are from bots because they have been very consistent, and then they stop, and then they start back up.
Cari ChampionHOST
It's very interesting the rhythm in which they work in terms of sending us hateful messages and/or letting us know we ain't nothing.
Cari ChampionHOST
Amber Cox, I will address her briefly.
Cari ChampionHOST
When Amber Cox, the GM of the Indiana Fever, uh, tried to defend her fan base, I understood what she was trying to do, and it probably rallied that fan base and was like, "Yeah, thank you.
Dan DakichHOST
Somebody defend the Fever fan base.
Dan DakichHOST
Amber Cox, who is the general manager, who has no business being the general manager.
Dan DakichHOST
If you look at Amber Cox's history, she's had, like, 72 jobs.
Dan DakichHOST
Like, wh- why is somebody, if they're any good at a job, leaving a job every two years? Because she's hired because she's a woman and understands how to politically maneuver.
Dan DakichHOST
But she finally came to the defense of the fan base, who has been getting lambasted.
Dan DakichHOST
It is fantastic.
Dan DakichHOST
And the little girls of the WNBA, they just get upset about everything.
Dan DakichHOST
Here's Amber Cox trying to defend the fan base.
Andrew HobnerHOST
And that's not for me to doomsay on your franchise or for you to get defensive over it.
Andrew HobnerHOST
If you want to see this team win, if you want to see Caitlin Clark win, you have to kind of call on Amber Cox, the GM, and Kelly Krauskopf, the president of basketball operations, and say, figure this out.
Andrew HobnerHOST
Because Amber Cox getting out there, I understand the standpoint of not wanting to throw elements of your fan base under the bus.
Andrew HobnerHOST
But if this is about winning basketball games, I don't care.
Andrew HobnerHOST
I don't care if we lose.
Andrew HobnerHOST
This franchise has historically not been good, save for one generationally talented player who stuck through the franchise through thick and thin, and that was Tamika Catchings.
Tyler DeLucaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Andrew HobnerHOST
But Steph White, Kelly Krauskopf, Amber Cox, they've all been a part of this team dating back to those years.
Robin LundbergHOST
Telling those fans who came in, flipping them the double bird right to their face like those Eagles fans did to the Rams coaches.
Robin LundbergHOST
And everybody was so quick to jump on what Amber Cox said when she was talking about the arena.
Robin LundbergHOST
The WNBA, I promise you, I know...
Robin LundbergHOST
They investigated the fan in the Asia Wilson incident and found nothing.
Aaron TorresHOST
Here's why I want to talk about it, though.
Aaron TorresHOST
After the game, after the season one final for the Fever, GM Amber Cox went to the podium.
Aaron TorresHOST
And in something that I don't think that I have heard yet, except maybe from Sophie Cunningham, she came to the defense of Kaitlyn Clark.
Aaron TorresHOST
And I'm going to play the sound in half a second.
Aaron TorresHOST
It's okay to say that there are good players now.
Aaron TorresHOST
What is indisputable... is that the rising tide of Kaitlyn Clark has lifted the entire league.
Aaron TorresHOST
Nobody has said it until Amber Cox, Indiana Fever GM, went to the podium after their season finished.
Aaron TorresHOST
Donovan, play the sound.
Dan DakichHOST
The Fever aren't good enough.
Dan DakichHOST
If I am the Fever, uh, if I am the owner, Simon, I am firing Stephanie White, I am firing Kelly Kosproff, I am firing Am- Amber Cox.
Dan DakichHOST
Those are the two front office ladies.
Dan DakichHOST
I'm getting rid of anything other than basketball people.
Dan DakichHOST
I want the best basketball people in that organization, and I'm doing it today.
Dan DakichHOST
Stephanie White, she gone.
Dan DakichHOST
Amber Cox, GM, she gone.
Dan DakichHOST
Kelly Kosproff, who's like the patron saint of women in Indianapolis, and she's a miserable failure and whatever she done, she gone.
